The night before the Mongol Rally started, I got to talking to a Dane driving a van covered top-to-bottom purple fur. This was his second attempt at the rally; he tried to make it to Mongolia 2 years ago and 14,000km in, he ran into visa issues and had to turn back. Now he was back to try his luck again. As a Rally veteran, he shared his volumes of advice over a cigarette:
“Say yes to everything,” he said. “Whenever someone invites you to do something, no matter what, you say yes.” All of his best experiences on the 2009 rally were from saying yes to drunken police officers who wanted to take him on a 2AM tour of their city, or Mongolian yak herders who were looking for a husband for their daughter.
So when my crazy father tells me that he’s in touch with a hemp factory in Kluj, Romania and suggests that we pay a visit, we didn’t have much choice but to say, well, yes. “It will make the rally a business trip,” he told me.
My dad’s always got new ideas for how to expand his atlatl business (a primitive spear-throwing weapon), and in the past few years, he’s been deeply interested in fibers. For a time, he was growing the only field of flax in New York State (and maybe the entire eastern seaboard) in hopes of starting up a new linen industry in the U.S. In our garage, he was even building a scale model of a building-sized machine, his invention, that would cut, thresh and process the fiber right in the field. It was an idea that was a bit too crazy to ever actually take off, and pieces of the unfinished machine now sit in our garage.
Now dad’s interest was in hemp, flax’s cousin. Hemp’s an amazingly versatile and hardy fiber, grown in America for generations (even George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had fields), but now it is illegal to grow in America because of generations of anti-marijuana hysteria. (Don’t get my dad started on that.) For several months, My father had been exchanging emails with the Romanian hemp clothing company Ecolution, trying to suss out a new source of raw materials. When he learned that I would be driving through Mongolia this summer, he excitedly told his Romanian hemp contact. Their response? A formal invite for us to visit the factory.
“Yes,” we said, out of dutiful obligation to our Rally mantra. Next thing we knew, we were on our way to Northwest Romania, with only a vague notion of what to expect, and a cryptic email from the people at Ecolution saying “Yes, let’s do it.”
We rolled into Kluj at about 10:00AM, and I checked our team phone to find five missed calls (leaving it on vibrate in the bottom of your pack does that). As I scrolled through the call log, the phone rang again. It was a sales manager from Ecolution named Ioana, and in a frenzied voice, she asked us where we were. Ioana was already waiting for us at their factory, and meant business! After a brief discusion, I told her “sure,” we could meet her at a square in the middle of Kluj’s confusing downtown, a place so hard to find that all the locals we talked to couldn’t quite explain how to get there. We quickly found a hotel and paid them to let us use their showers (having not had a shower in a few days), put on the nicest clothes we could find in our backpacks. Then we drove Kluj hopelessly lost for forty-five minutes, fielding a half dozen more phone calls from Ioana asking where we were, before we finally happened upon the right square with a woman in pink shirt waving us down excitedly. We’d found Kluj’s warehouse district.
Ioana led us down a few alleys among several of Kluj’s crumbling factories, past a shoe factory with its dumpsters full of leather scraps, up several flights of stairs past various other clothing manufacturers, and finally into Ecolution.
A modest single-floor factory, it hummed with the sound of looms, sewing machines, and machines that did things like spin thread into yarns and soften threads. “Welcome to Ecolution,” said Ioana, as we could feel the eyes of all the factory workers pointed straight at the three bearded American twenty-somethings who had appeared in their workplace.
Now, I know almost nothing about fabric and fiber, and I have never faked expertise more in my life. “Where do you, um, grow the hemp?” I would ask, or comment on a piece of fabric “Oh yes, this is great, very durable, very high quality. Good.” Jeff and Chris walked behind, equally fish-out-of-water but without the burden of speaking on behalf of their father’s business. So it was up to me to do all the talking (and bullshitting). “My father is very interested in this yarn,” I’d nod, “this is just what he needs,” knowing only in the vaguest sense what types of things my father used on his atlatls — to me, string is string.
Luckily, Ioana was able to procure a variety of swatches and samples, labeled with product numbers, which I will be sending home to my dad to see for himself. The prices for Ecolution’s products are a fraction of what we would pay retail in the States, and the quality of the materials appeared to be very high, so I know that he’ll be happy with what I brought back. Chris and I took various macro-focused shots of the cloths and strings around the factory (to show off the texture), another request my father had made of me.
Aside from one awkward conversation with a project manager who clearly saw through our facade and could tell we knew nothing about hemp or fabric, the factory visit was very interesting, if only to see all of the machinery and steps that are taken to turn hemp fiber into a finished product. We saw the spools of thread that the factory buys directly from the farmers, the machines that process the thread, the looms that turn it into cloth, the tailors and sewing machines where it was cut and stitched together, and the dye room where the clothing was made colorful and ready to sell. The entire process is etirely organic — Ecolution’s market, as you might have guessed, was primarily upscale shops where people are willing to pay high dollar for clothing that is made out of a rare fabric with entirely eco-friendly and organic processes.
After our factory tour, we made a brief stop at the Ecolution office (where there was a sign up that said “English-only zone…you will be fined if you speak in Romanian”) — very interesting to see how international companies run their businesses.
Then, Ioana treated us to lunch at a traditional Romanian restaurant. The food I got was good and hearty (meat, potatoes, cabbage, cornmeal mush), though a bit bland. Jeff ordered tripe soup, not knowing that tripe is the stomach lining of a cow. (He asked Ioana what he was eating, thinking the chewy part was squid. Nope.)
We had a great conversation with Ioana and made fast friends, before she led us back to our car by way of several of Kluj’s famous monuments and churches. Then we started up our car and continued on our way through Romania…with a big bag of hemp samples and marketing paperwork in tow.
What a cool and random experience. Always say YES when you get invited to do something on the Rally. You won’t regret it.
Ecolution ,this term i never ever want to hear it again.I had business with the Romanian
hemp traders called ”Ecolution”
I want the whole world to know that they are the biggest SCAMMERS of them all.The club is ran by an american outlaw named DYLAN CARL HILLSMAN ,a desperate american in his late 40-es and they are scammers.
Please don’t ever trust them and don’t pay them a single euro ,because the products will never reach their destination!
Even if the products arrive ,they are other colors,sizes,models ,mostly in bad condition.
PLease let the whole world know that they are complete Scammers and Thief’s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I had read this comment a month earlier!
Did you place an order, make bank transfer, hear nothing for a while then get a mail saying they don’t have raw materials needed to make your order?
After being given a list of alternative products available that didn’t suit our needs we asked for a refund.
This request was met with email silence and always out of office if by phone.
Buyer beware!
Ecolution Romania hemp traders are a big scam, fraud. Don’t be fooled by their website!
I too have been cheated by these people. DO NOT WIRE ANY CASH TO THEM!!
You will be wasting your time chasing them for products or any refund. I don’t understand how they continue to get away with it!
Ecolution- Romania change his name to Cavvas Organics..
Buyer beware!
Hi! We just bought goods from Cavvas Organics and they have a great service!!! Ecolution’s owner is Dylan Carl Hilsman and Cavvas Organics is a different company with a different owner.
Ecolution Europe and Cavvas Organics share the same VAT# and company registration# . They are the same scammers with a changed name!
Do you know how to get contact to them? I placed an order last fall and never get their products. I keep calling but nobody answers and my email has been rejected, saying “due to spam or virus content.” Have you got your money backed?
Dylan Carl Hilsman is the same guy! Same VAT number and Company registration. They have done business and consider yourself one of the lucky ones if it worked for you. They will not refund ANYTHING if they can’t provide. Whether they intentionally dupe people into ordering what they haven’t got or bad management is not important. They do not REFUND!!
Cavvas Organics, Romania Are Theives!
Sue Ellen, would you be kind enough to post the contact details for this company called Cavvas organics as it does not seem to show on google search.
Dylan Carl Hilsman is the same guy that ran Ecolution. You will not get money back and they will avoid emails or calls chasing for money. Do not buy anything connected to either Ecolution or Cavvas Organics. Staff named Muresan Ioana Alexandra and Iuoras Sorin are all connected with this scam!
Dear Jake,
Where are you from? It seems that you know these persons. Have you talked with them over the phone? Which is the name of your company?
Dylan Carl Hilsman’s Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000183191715
It used to Ecolution stated on his page, but now no mention of work.
Cavvas Organics does not have a website under that name and Ecolution website is stated as being under repair!
It is sad to see that others have made the same mistake as myself. That is to trust an entity based in Romania with no fallback in case they decide to cheat me. If Sue Ellen could please share the details, i.e. Address, contact name and email of this so called Cavvas Organic company, it would be greatly appreciated. I am sure you wouldn’t mind sharing their details if you claim that they are above board.
It sounds to me as though the company ran in to serious money troubles and have changed name so they can continue without paying any debts. Any change over in manager makes no difference.
Dear John, I understand your frustration but that doesn’t give you the right to accuse the Romanian people of anything. In your particular case, the Romanians where the ones who raised the crop, handpicked the plant, processed the fabric into yarn, weaved the yarn into fabric and then tailored the fabric into products. It was an AMERICAN, who took your money and never gave anything in return.
I used to work for an American who didn’t pay me for several month and when I decided he’s not worth my time and skills he considered himself offended. Would that give me the the right to call all Americans slavers? I don’t think so… How about you?
And the baby name is Cavvas Limited, living at the same address with the big brother(s) Ecolution. The newborn is well and hungry for advance payments.
It’s kind of funny all this desperate hope, they will still be able to sucker some honest buyer..
Hi,
My name is Scuturici Cristian and I am the owner of CAVVAS LIMITED.
This company has nothing to do with Ecolution and Dylan Hilsman.
I used to work for Dylan, but this is everything.
Because I know the market and what possibilities it has I decided to start a new one on my self. In the past months we had a lot of orders and we delivered all of this in time. For any person interested You can contact me personally on my e-mail : cristi@cavvas.com and we can talk. I can give you some clients contact info and ask them about our credibility. We have clients that paid half at the beginning and the rest after, we need this kind of advances to start production.
I am tired of this associations between me and Dylan. I want to do a clean, eco – friendly and beautiful business. STOP TAKING MY NAME IN DIRT .
Thank you.
Regards,
Cristi Scuturici
” Mr. Cristi, you want to do a clean eco-friendly business with this Cavvas Limited company. How can you do that while you being the owner of Ecolution Europe are responsible for customer debts, responsible for cheating the customers, not sending our orders, nor giving back our advanced money! I made some search about the Ecolution Europe company, and there as owner, director and administrator is published your name. The fact that you opened another company is your business, but for Ecolution Europe customer debts you remain responsible.
We, cheated customers don t need your email address to get your credibility, this is ridiculous after promissing us to wait for the orders, then not responding to the phone. If you want to do a clean new business and to remain on this market pay back the money what we sent for orders since long time ago and didn t get any itemn for it!
Hi Cristi,
We only have bad experiences with dealing with Romania and absoluely no protection against losing money. I will not be doing business with people in Romania in the future as it is way too far for me to turn up chasing money with a baseball bat!
Could you please let me know your VAT and company registration numbers as you will be liable for ecolution’s debts if you haven’t registered as a completely different company.
I appreciate that you are trying to make a fresh and honest start to your business and wish you good luck.
I want to share some public info from the Romanian company registration office, regarding Cristian Scuturici:
The managing director of the original Ecolution srl is Cristian Scuturici.
The sole owner of Ecolution Europe is Cristian Scuturici. this company is registered in 2009, to cover the Ecolution srl and Dylan Hilsman debts.
In December 2011 the sole owner of Ecolution Europe change the name of the company to Cavvas Organics and later in May 2012 change back the name to Ecolution Europe . Same time, in December, is changed also the address to Motilor St., Cluj.
The new company, Cavvas Limited, is registered in May 2012, at the same address where Ecolution Europe is registered.
So dear Cristian, please explain how can you have a fresh, and more important, honest new start, without to be liable, for the Ecolution(s) debts??
Hello, I am the girl from the picture and I used to work for Ecoluti on, not anymore because I left the industry. You are all shamles liars, in a industry based on a plant that you all say was left from Good, you are all chasing stones. First of all we didn’t took the money from your poket, all of you made a transfer. Second of all, most of you weren’t at your first purchase, and you were satisfied in the past, or friends of your’s were. Ok, Ecolution had problems, but let’s face ut, what company in this recesion hasn’t,but did one of you helped? because you saw that every order became more and more late. NO! You just asked every time for higher and higher discounts!and now you wonder why Ecolution wanished! It was for the lousy costumers. And now when anotger cimpany is trying to come on the market you come like wolfe’s to wanish it! Good for you, you are real humans! Me and Ecolution are out of the market, but Cawas remains and I suport them!
Wow and to think you were a manager there!
I’ve worked there and I know the tense atmosphere, were Dylan was asking every single day: “How are the sales?”. The customers and their feedback, the employees, the economic crisis – all this didn’t matter to him. He wanted to see MONEY.
Ioana, I don’t even know why you were manager there, because you only played Spider Solitaire and gossiped with Dylan all day long. A small advice: first learn how to speak, then try to put your ideas in order and in the end write a reply.
Dylan – I’m not sure why he left the States, but I guess he was wanted or something. He was an alcoholic, getting often into fights. He came in the office drunk, but hey, he was the big boss! Oh and let’s not forget he wanted to marry a Romanian girl, just to get the citizenship.
Now about Cristi – he was actually a good guy, I’m not sure why he put up with all the bulls*t Dylan was doing. Cristi was the one who tried to get the company out of debt and tried doing all he could.
I think it’s good that the new company Cavvas got rid of counter-productive people like Ioana and Dylan, but hey, that doesn’t excuse the fact that Ecolution cheated people.
One more thing, about the products: Ecolution was lying about growing the hemp adn turn it into yarns, then fabric, then clothes. All they did was buy the yarns and most of the fabric from other producers and either resell them or turn them in finished products.
Why you didn’t receive the orders? Well because Ecolution couldn’t pay their material suppliers, thus they didn’t have fabric to make the clothes.
“I am one of lots of cheated customers. I sent orders, I payed in advance and I never got the items and I never got my money back. The current owner of Cavvas limited (Cristi Scuturici) also was the owner of Ecolution Europe. He has been changing the names to try to escape debts of Ecolution Europe . He is a romanian thief and a terrible liar ! He always tells blah, blah to all customers. Nobody can trust this person. Even this what he told online is such a blah, blah ! You can be sure to loose your money in doing business with this romanian thief and cheat. Lots of other people, as myself, have done a very bad experience ! We, customers, must refuse doing business with such a cheat. The Cavvas limited do not have the right to exist .
Hi everybody, I m Mike. In the past we were also customers of Ecolution, and liked very much their eco-friendly products. I personally made several orders and till last year we never had problems with getting the items. So we trusted the company and their employees who always asked very kindly about our patience and promised will deliver the orders. We trust Ecolution because in the past never had problems with them. But months passed, we sent in advance them the money how we used to do and we never got any items or money back. When I called all they didn t respond or they told me all kinds of bullshit lies about production difficulties, raw material delays, etc.
I know Mr. Dylan Hilsman was the owner of Ecolution, one time in the past I even talked with him on phone about an order and was very kind and helpful. What I know is that now the Ecolution company is Ecolution Europe and the owner and administrator is Cristian Scuturici. I didn t know anything about Cavvas Limited or any new company, I read here in your previous comments. We made order to Ecolution Europe who’s owner is Cristian Scuturici and got cheated and only lies and promisses about our order. I will never do business with them in the future and will tell to other people as well to bevare of this person and his bullshitting, liar employees.
Hi Mike,
Scuturici has changed the name of Ecolution Europe, which now is calling Cavvas limited. He had lots of debts with Ecolution Europe, that’s why he changed the company’s name, but these are still the same liar people. You are right stop doing with them and I hope all customers are going to stop doing business with them.
Hi Mike and all the rest here….
Ecolution Europe sold Ecolution products made by Dylan Hilsman. From the moment he took the money from Eco Europe for production and spent all of it on blah blah, and didn’t deliver goods to Europe it was ok for him to hit the road and Europe to remain with all clients. He is a very nice guy .. Dylan… he can’t go to US because of the debts , and very soon to Romania to, because he has 2 companies there in bankruptcy… You can find out very interesting things if you call or ask to the official governmental offices….
I was a client to of Ecolution and Ecolution Europe and Scuturici Cristian made everything possible so I can get my order … and he has his difficulties, as I spoken to him in February because he trusted Hilsman . Many of you here , I think you just want to blame someone but you don’t know the true .
I had one order with Cavvas Limited and I received my goods and with nice quality and in time.
PROCLAIMING OWNERSHIP :
http://ro.linkedin.com/pub/dylan-carl-hilsman/13/61/4a7
please don’t say that with my friend he is not like that he have a humanities why are you said that??????????????????????
Just like Sven, I was also a customer of Ecolution and Ecolution Europe from Italy, and would like to tell, that our company never had order problems in the past. Mr. Hilsman and his employees always took care of my order and sent it in time.
Last year we started to have delivery problems with Ecolution Europe and we had lot of patience with them because loved their products and so far never had delivery difficulties. In autumn they started to stop the connection with me, the sales girl with who I was in touch didn t respond to my mails and nobody responded to our phone calls. The company never delivered our last order to us and also didn t send any from our advanced money.
What I found out is that Mr. Cristian Scuturici was and is the current owner of Ecolution Europe. I also found out that Mr. Cristian Scuturici opened a new company, called Cavvas Limited SRL , which is also in the Romanian hemp-fashion biz line. I saw the website of Cristian Scuturici’s new company, this Cavvas Limited and it looks to me like a copy of Ecolution probably financed by money token from cheated customers like me.
I think Cristian Scuturici is focusing on this new Cavvas Limited company and is forgetting that he still has unpaid, unfulfilled customers under his responsibility being the owner of Ecolution Europe.
I don t care and is not in my interest to know who has difficulties because of who, or who cheated who inside the company. A company’s internal issues are not relevant at all for the customers, especially because we don t know the whole situation to see who has right and who not. My, such as other customers interest is to be fulfilled their order, or if it can t be delivered anymore to be given back the advanced money. And who is the current owner and administrator of Ecolution Europe (Cristian Scuturici) is responsible and obligated to achieve this, not others.
I am reading the comments and also feel totaly scammed by Ecolution/Cavvas people. Basically, they are the same people, just different owner. How can you trust people who previously didn’t tell you the situation, took the money while waiting the company to bankrupt.
Should we regroup and make a collective action?
I also think that they are the same people, same employees with this Cristian Scuturici, the owner, who kept our money and didn’t send our orders. From what I found, he abandoned his previous company and opened a new, fresh company, Cavvas Limited. This Cavvas Limited company seems to be a copy of Ecolution Europe, but in a clean situation, without customer debts and undelivered orders.
How can this person, Cristian Scuturici, succeed in this business market with his new Cavvas Limited company if he still has unresolved customer problems of his abandoned company? In my opinion, it is ridiculous that Cristian Scuturici unabashedly wrote in this blog, trying to assert the credibility of Cavvas Limited while even saying that he wants to do a “clean, eco-friendly and beautiful business”.
Then what about his previous company’s customer debts and undelivered orders?
Hi everyone!
I can understand very well your indignation towards Cristian Scuturici about this issue with the undelivered orders and advanced money. I have also indignation towards Cristian Scuturici. I was working for a while for him in the past and want to tell you that Cristian Scuturici for a couple of months didn’t pay me for my job and near me there are more ex-employees, including factory workers who also didn’t get their salary till now. So you are not the only ones who were cheated by Cristian Scuturici.
I can confirm to you that Cristian Scuturici, using your advanced money as well, opened up a new company, the Cavvas Limited, but in fact the products and all assets, know-how, technology remained the same from the abandoned Ecolution Europe.
And now Cristian Scuturici, instead of trying to get back to you cheated customers and to finally deliver the missing items or pay back your advanced money is fully focusing on the development of Cavvas Limited and on making sales of the Cavvas Limited products, which are in fact the same types of products from the abandoned Ecolution Europe.You can see this on his website http://www.cavvas.com.
Hi evervyone
After reading all those comments, I just hope that all cheated customers , included myself, are going to stop doing biz with this Christian ScuturicI. We can not accept such a “stolen” company and such a dishonest person !
Just got an email from Cavvas advertising their goods. It was addressed to my company and included my name. Has this information come from Ecolution. Of course it has.
The staff were extremely unhelpful when I tried to make contact, in fact almost all emails and calls were ignored. That doesn’t sound like the actions of honest people. I am not saying all Romanians are crooks, but I have no respect for any of the people who I dealt with at Ecolution!
STEER CLEAR OF CAVVAS ORGANICS!!
Alexandra Ioana Muresan, I was a first time customer who was completely ignored and only told of any problems after such a long wait and my deciding to chase you up. YOU ignored countless emails and calls I made. You are in no position to judge me! I am glad you no longer work for these people, but your inaction as sales manager did not ease any frustration!!
i have something to say! i used to work with Ecolution under Dylan and was a very good sales rep with many happy customers for over 5 years working out of the USA warehouse. unfortunatly it seems that Dylan the (ex? ) owner of ecolution made some very poor decisions and mis- steps with a beautiful and thriving business… what a shame- but it was at one point in time a hemp company like no other that i loved being a part of – i repeat- with MANY happy wholesale customers.. I wish Cristi the very best of success and prosperity with these beautiful products- Cristi- I would be very excited to work with YOU in sharing such wonderful products with the weatern world. much love and good karma !
I bought a sweater from ecolution last spring from a store around my house in Toronto, Canada.
If they dont ever deliver, than why would i be able to buy a garment from them?
Unfortunately the sweater was stollen at a resturant, and now in going crazy trying to find it anywhere.
Its a hard company to find, and there website hasnt helped.
Dylan Carl Hilsman is hanging in Kathmandu,Nepal.He is trying to cheat Nepali peoples but everybody knew who is he.If you’d like to catch up him Call at U S Embassy of Nepal and Nepal police will find at Thamel market
Reply
I saw him at near the Royal palace (Thamel) Kathmandu Nepal.
Cristian Scuturici (geographer), was/is the manager of Ecolution because he knew how to kiss the ass. In the past, products were made at Trevor Kalimera Impex, then sold by only one company, Ecolution… In 2007-2008, Ecolution started to manage the production with unqualified personnel. In 2008-2009 when the shit hit the fan, Cristian Scuturici, Dylan Carl Hilsman (alcoholic) and Toader Simina, Dylan’s girlfriend, now ex, and accountant at Ecolution) had the idea to create another company, a fresh one. Now CAVVAS Limited is the new (same old) company. They deliberately did not payed factory workers salary in Romania, medical insurance, suppliers, IRS tax, workers in US
warehouse, they did not delivered the orders at all/completely/as ordered, and many more… now I ask you, who has the guilt ? Romanians in general? Cristian Scuturici is to young to have all the money for such a company, don’t be fooled by what he said, he is only 27, and a dreamer fooled by Dylan Carl.
We do plenty of work with many businesses in KTM. Will mention Dylan’s name to warn my good friends that this man has unpaid debts!
I used to bring in Ecolution clothing and products for sale in a store I managed in Ottawa. I had no issues for about three years then the start of the recession hit them hard. They never had anything in stock, produced a wonderful catalogue, which you couldn’t order from … My sales rep had worked there for several years, hi Mike if you ever happen upon this thread. The products were mostly excellent, I was wearing a pair of Ecolution boots today (sadly almost worn out now), some of their stuff wasn’t as good, but that was individual production runs as opposed to the norm. I remember talking to the staff in California just as things were going poorly and yes, the owner Dylan sounded like a real piece of work who took a thriving, viable business with plenty of potential and ruined it. What a shame. I still have several pieces of Ecolution clothing and a small throw blanket which I now know to treasure. I enjoyed doing business with them and was never screwed at all, in fact, I was treated very well. I’m sorry to learn about how the rest of you have been treated. I’m not sure if this supplier is still around, but as Ecolution was dying and I needed stock for my store I tried another California based company called Indigenous Designs and they were very good. Expensive, but good products, and good to deal with. Hopefully they are still in existence and if so some of you might want to contact them. Good luck to you all, it was a tough recession that killed most of us, except the rich pigs at the top who just got richer.
Interesting thread. I used to do business with Dylan in California back in the 90s. We were both in the hemp business when the hemp industry was just getting on its feet. I watched his company grow, and he always seemed like a good guy. I got out of the hemp business in 2001; I sold my store (HempShak, in San Luis Obispo) and went to Europe to travel the continent. I even went to Romania and met up with Dylan in Cluj. He showed me around the city and I had a great time. The Romania people are by and large wonderful. It sounds like he’s been on the lam for a couple years. That’s too bad. He always enjoyed a good adventure, but I hope he’s enjoying Nepal at no one else’s unwitting expense.
A couple of years ago I was in touch with Ecolution because I wanted to start up a store featuring hemp products. I was very interested in acquiring clothing from Ecolution because they were the only ones I could find that had this type of product. I am now reviving my plans and am very disappointed to hear these stories about Ecolution. What a pity that such a good idea has so gone down the drain and that many people were cheated. Obviously there is a lot of interest in hemp products out there. Can anyone here tell me where I can get comparable product to what was available at Ecolution?
